Homemade Cadbury Cream Cookie Cups
Sweet homemade Cadbury Cream filling stuffed into chewy chocolate chip cookie cups. It can be made into mini cookie cups if desired.
Make homemade Cadbury Cream eggs at home with this simple recipe. The secret ingredient to making the creamy Cadbury filling is corn syrup. You just need a tiny bit, but it makes all the difference in this Spring staple.
The Original Recipe from In Katrina’s Kitchen
The first day of spring should be celebrated, don’t you think? St. Patrick’s Day is fun and all but thankfully, Target breaks out the cream eggs in January. Seriously, how many of us have bought the infamous eggs for our children’s Easter basket only to buy them again (and again) to cover our transgressions?
Homemade Cadbury Cream
It is simple and delicious to make Homemade Cadbury Cream. When we made the famous cream eggs, we all sat back and enjoyed our chocolate. The kitchen however looked like an Easter weekend crime scene. There was chocolate everywhere, and sticky cream fingerprints adorned every surface. Being the lazy creative person that I am, the idea for these homemade Cadbury cream cookie cups was born.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups
You can make homemade chocolate chip cookie dough, or begin with a tube of store-bought cookie dough to make this showstopper Easter dessert even easier!
This recipe makes 12 large cream-filled cookie cups. This recipe can be adapted to make 24 smaller cookie cups by using a mini muffin tin.
You do not need to use cupcake liners to make cookie cups, but there is no harm in doing so.

Cadbury Cream Cookie Cups Recipe
Ingredients
- 16 ounces chocolate chip cookie dough
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 drop yellow food coloring
Instructions
- START with prepared or purchased chocolate chip cookie dough. Each standard muffin tin should take about 2-3 tablespoons of cookie dough to make the cookie cups.
- SPRAY a muffin tin with nonstick spray. PRESS 2-3 tablespoons of dough onto the bottom of 12 muffin cups. BAKE for 13-15 minutes until golden. Let cool for 15 minutes in the pan. The middle will sink in. To help it along, you can press a small glass (or spice jar) into the well to create an indentation. While the cookies are warm but still firm, use the tips of your fingers to gently twist the cookie cups up and out of the pan. Let COOL completely.
- In the bowl of your mixer, COMBINE corn syrup, butter, and vanilla until light in color. Slowly add powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
- REMOVE 1/4 of the cream and dye with yellow food coloring. Set aside.
- POUR or scoop the white cream into the cookie cups. Finish off with a small dollop of yellow cream.

Notes
- Use a standard size cupcake or muffin tin.
- Twist and lift the cookie cups out of the tin when they are still slightly warm but firm enough to be transferred without breaking.
- We used purchased cookie dough, but you can substitute your favorite homemade dough.
- These can be made into mini cookie cups using a mini muffin pan. Use about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough per cookie cup and adjust baking time to 9-12 minutes.

I filled them right before I served them but we had leftovers and my husband ate them the next day too. So I would say either way is fine. Have fun!
I didn't try the mini so I can't be sure. I would start with 1 Tablespoon of dough fort about 9 minutes then adjust as necessary. Don't forget to grease your pan well! Have fun!
Does it matter when you put the cream in the cookies? Like should I wait until right before I'm taking them some where or I can the night before?
Holy Moly these look so good!
HOLY COW. I mean, bunny. I mean chicken?!?
We stored them at room temperature for a few days.
Do u need to store these in the fridge at all?
These are crazy cool! It's prob my fav gotta-have holiday indulgence….and it's not even a christmas treat! So creative nice work!
If I made any of these, I would be the only one it the house eating them. I LOVE CADBURY EGGS!!! They used to be super good here but they started getting thicker insides and not being as yummy. I had them England and they were the best thing that I had ever tried!! I think that this would make it yummy again. I will have to make them when someone else is going to be here so that I don't eat them all myself 🙂

While good in theory, these are much much much too sweet for anyone to actually be able to eat. I was so excited to try these out since Cadbury Eggs are my absolute favorite candy. I followed the directions exactly, and it's just way too much sweet. Way way way too much. I'm pretty disappointed, but I'll just chalk it up to a learning experience.
These may just possibly make me become a creme egg fan! 🙂

I think your malt ball issues stem from the fact that you hhave probably only experienced American malt balls like Whoppers, which are like cement covered in brown wax. Find some Cadbury Malteasers and let one melt between your tongue and the roof of your mouth and you will no longer hate maltballs (only the American ones :))
wow! this looks amazing!!! i'm gonna have to try this!
My recent post More Key word fun
I love the contrast between the textures (and the brightness from the food dye is eye-catching) – the creaminess from the filling against the rustic cookie cups – very ingenious =) I'm sure there were some very happy eaters in your kitchen 😉

Good golly, those are ooey gooey. My British husband insists on buying Cadbury's Cream Eggs any time he sees them. We recently tried the Chocolate Cream Eggs.. whoa. Those are pretty incredible. Bet you can just add a little cocoa powder and get the same taste. Cookie cups are a *great* idea. I'd much prefer that to the chocolate shell.

Wow-AMAZING is all I can say! I need to try these-two of my favorites combined into one-genius!!
I was at WalMart after Christmas with my hubby to see what was left for Christmas clearance and he was so excited that they had cadbury eggs already, so we bought wrapping paper and cadbury eggs!
This is ridiculously sinful, I would probably just make the cream and dip oreos in it or something like that.
